I took the following photos today while visiting the Great Swamp of New Jersey, on a very windy and cold day. There were not too many birds or animals around, but some may be good eye candy for the weekend.
A Chipmunk ran across my path then took refuge in a tree hole.

Our bluebirds are searching out nesting sites now. Iād never seen a red winged blackbird till I moved to the coast but sadly there are no chipmunks here!

I thought that Chipmunks are everywhere in North America, but come to think of it we don’t have any in our woods. I only saw them at the Great Swamp.

Thank you Lois! That Chipmunk darted across the path, went home, and immediately turned around to look at me!

Thank you Katelon! Bluebirds are my favorite birds. This one was far away and backlit, but the photo does show its colors.
